Koppert offers various biocontrol agents like predators, natural enemies, entomopathogenic nematodes, and parasitic organisms that control plant pests naturally.

  • Macrobial biocontrol agents dominate the market, with a value of about USD 458.8 million in 2022. Their dominance is mainly due to their ability to effectively control a wide range of pests without causing harm to the environment.
  • Among macrobial biocontrol agents, predators dominate the market and are valued at USD 399.9 million. The predators' segment's dominance in the overall biocontrol agents market is due to their ability to attack different life stages of pests and even different pest species. They are voracious feeders compared to other biocontrol agents.
  • Row crops dominate the macrobial biocontrol agents market, mainly due to their large cultivation area in the region. The consumption value of macrobial biocontrol agents in field crops is anticipated to reach USD 695.2 million by the end of the forecast period.
  • The market share of microbial biocontrol agents is limited compared to macrobial biocontrol agents due to various factors such as limited availability, less awareness about the utilization mechanism among farmers, and complex registration and commercialization processes.
  • Bacterial biocontrol agents dominated the microbial market and accounted for about 89.0% of its value in 2022. Bacterial biocontrol agents are mainly dominant due to their ability to control various diseases and pests.
  • However, integrated pest management programs promote the use of macrobial biocontrol agents such as predators and parasitoids. The European Commission promotes integrated pest management tools that can assist farmers and advisors, which may drive the macrobial biocontrol agents market value during the forecast period.
Europe Biocontrol Agents Market
  • Microorganisms have become an increasingly popular alternative to chemical plant protection products, providing farmers with effective tools to control pests and diseases in their crops while reducing the environmental impact. The European biocontrol agents market witnessed steady growth in 2022 as four legal acts were endorsed by the Member States of the European Commission that simplify the approval and authorization process of microorganism-containing biological plant protection products. The objective is to provide farmers with effective tools to substitute chemical plant protection products and deliver on the objectives of the Farm-to-Fork Strategy.
  • Russia currently occupies the largest share in the European biocontrol agents market, with a value share of 55.5% and a volume share of 21.2% in 2022. The increasing cultivation of horticultural crops and the discovery of new pests attacking crops are expected to drive further growth in the Russian market, with a projected CAGR of 8.3%.
  • Organic farming is a key industry of the EU agricultural sector, with nearly 330,000 organic farmers in the European Union in 2019, representing up to 20% of the farming area in the Member States. One of the targets of the Farm-to-Fork Strategy is to increase the total farmland under organic farming in the European Union, with plans for at least 25% of the EU's agricultural land to be under organic farming by 2030.
  • Biological plant protection products can be used in organic agriculture. The new regulations are expected to make it easier for EU organic farmers to access microorganisms used in biological plant protection products. This will provide them with new sustainable alternatives for controlling plant pests, contributing to a more environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to farming.

Europe Biocontrol Agents Market Trends

European Green Deal is majorly contributing for increasing organic cultivation, Italy majorly holding largest area under organic

  • European countries are increasingly promoting organic farming, and the amount of land categorized as organic has significantly increased over the last 10 years. In March 2021, the European Commission launched an organic action plan to achieve the European Green Deal target of ensuring that 25% of agricultural land is under organic farming by 2030. Austria, Italy, Spain, and Germany are among the leading countries for organic cultivation in the European region. Italy has 15.0% of its agricultural area under organic farming, which is higher than the EU average of 7.5%.
  • In 2021, organic land in the European Union was recorded at 14.7 million hectares. The agricultural production area is divided into three main types of use: arable land crops (mainly cereals, root crops, and fresh vegetables), permanent grassland, and permanent crops (fruit trees and berries, olive groves, and vineyards). The area of organic arable land was 6.5 million hectares in 2021, the equivalent of 46% of the European Union's total organic agricultural area.
  • The organic cultivation area of cereals, oilseeds, protein crops, and pulses in the European Union increased by 32.6% between 2017 and 2021, amounting to more than 1.6 million hectares. With 1.3 million hectares in production, perennial crops accounted for 15% of the organic land in 2020. Olives, grapes, almonds, and citrus fruits are a few examples of crops in this group. Spain, Italy, and Greece are significant growers of organic olive trees, with production amounting to 197,000, 179,000, and 47,000 hectares, respectively, in recent years.
  • Both olives and grapes are crucial for the European agricultural industry because they can be turned into specialty products that are in demand locally and globally. The increasing organic acreage in the region is expected to strengthen the organic agricultural industry in Europe.

Growing demand for organic food, rising the per capita spending, Germany being the largest organic food market in the region

  • European consumers are increasingly purchasing goods made using natural materials and methods. Even though organic food still only makes up a fraction of the European Union's overall agricultural production, it is no longer a niche industry. The European Union represents the second-largest single market for organic goods internationally, with an average per capita spending of USD 74.8 annually. The per capita spending on organic food in Europe has doubled in the last decade. In 2020, Swiss and Danish consumers spent the most on organic food (USD 494.09 and USD 453.90 per capita, respectively).
  • Germany is the largest organic food market in Europe and the second largest market in the world after the United States, with a market size of USD 6.3 billion in 2021 and a per capita consumption of USD 75.6, as per Global Organic Trade data. The country accounted for 10.0% of the global organic food demand and is estimated to record a CAGR of 2.7% between 2021 and 2026.
  • The organic food market in France witnessed strong growth, with a 12.6% rise in retail sales in 2021. The country's per capita spending on organic food was recorded at USD 88.8 in 2021, as per Global Organic Trade data. In 2018, as recorded by the Agence BIO/Spirit Insight Barometer, 88% of French people declared having consumed organic products. The preservation of health, environment, and animal welfare are the primary justifications for consuming organic foods in France.
  • The organic market has begun to grow in several other nations, including Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, with the opening of organic stores. Organic food sales grew during and post the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers began paying more attention to health issues and learned the adverse effects of conventionally grown food.

Keyword Definition
Cash Crops​ Cash crops are non-consumable crops sold as a whole or part of the crop to manufacture end-products to make a profit.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)​ IPM is an environment-friendly and sustainable approach to control pests in various crops. It involves a combination of methods, including biological controls, cultural practices, and selective use of pesticides.
Bacterial biocontrol agents​ Bacteria used to control pests and diseases in crops. They work by producing toxins harmful to the target pests or competing with them for nutrients and space in the growing environment. Some examples of commonly used bacterial biocontrol agents include Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Streptomyces spp.​
Plant Protection Product (PPP)​ A plant protection product is a formulation applied to crops to protect from pests, such as weeds, diseases, or insects. They contain one or more active substances with other co-formulants such as solvents, carriers, inert material, wetting agents or adjuvants formulated to give optimum product efficacy.​
Pathogen​ A pathogen is an organism causing disease to its host, with the severity of the disease symptoms.​
Parasitoids​ Parasitoids are insects that lay their eggs on or within the host insect, with their larvae feeding on the host insect. In agriculture, parasitoids can be used as a form of biological pest control, as they help to control pest damage to crops and decrease the need for chemical pesticides.​
Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPN)​ Entomopathogenic nematodes are parasitic roundworms that infect and kill pests by releasing bacteria from their gut. Entomopathogenic nematodes are a form of biocontrol agents used in agriculture.​
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM)​ VAM fungi are mycorrhizal species of fungus. They live in the roots of different higher-order plants. They develop a symbiotic relationship with the plants in the roots of these plants.​
Fungal biocontrol agents​ Fungal biocontrol agents are the beneficial fungi that control plant pests and diseases. They are an alternative to chemical pesticides. They infect and kill the pests or compete with pathogenic fungi for nutrients and space.​
Biofertilizers​ Biofertilizers contain beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth.​
Biopesticides​ Biopesticides are natural/bio-based compounds used to manage agricultural pests using specific biological effects.​
Predators​ Predators in agriculture are the organisms that feed on pests and help control pest damage to the crops. Some common predator species used in agriculture include ladybugs, lacewings, and predatory mites.​
Biocontrol agents​ Biocontrol agents are living organisms used to control pests and diseases in agriculture. They are alternatives to chemical pesticides and are known for their lesser impact on the environment and human health.​
Organic Fertilizers​ Organic fertilizer is composed of animal or vegetable matter used alone or in combination with one or more non-synthetically derived elements or compounds used for soil fertility and plant growth.​
Protein hydrolysates (PHs)​ Protein hydrolysate-based biostimulants contain free amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides produced by enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis of proteins, primarily from vegetal or animal sources.​
Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR)​ Biostimulants/Plant Growth Regulators (PGR) are substances derived from natural resources to enhance plant growth and health by stimulating plant processes (metabolism).​
Soil Amendments​ Soil Amendments are substances applied to soil that improve soil health, such as soil fertility and soil structure.​
Seaweed Extract​ Seaweed extracts are rich in micro and macronutrients, proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, phytohormones, and osmolytes. These substances boost seed germination and crop establishment, total plant growth and productivity.​
Compounds related to biocontrol and/or promoting growth (CRBPG)​ Compounds related to biocontrol or promoting growth (CRBPG)​ are the ability of a bacteria to produce compounds for phytopathogen biocontrol and plant growth promotion.​
Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria​ Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium obtain food and shelter from the host, and in return, they help by providing fixed nitrogen to the plants.​
Nitrogen Fixation​ Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process in soil which converts molecular nitrogen into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds.​
ARS (Agricultural Research Service)​ ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency. It aims to find solutions to agricultural problems faced by the farmers in the country.​
Phytosanitary Regulations​ Phytosanitary regulations imposed by the respective government bodies check or prohibit the importation and marketing of certain insects, plant species, or products of these plants to prevent the introduction or spread of new plant pests or pathogens.​
Ectomycorrhizae (ECM)​ Ectomycorrhiza (ECM) is a symbiotic interaction of fungi with the feeder roots of higher plants in which both the plant and the fungi benefit through the association for survival.​
